Germany, great for engineers. Plus German women are awesome.
England/Ireland
France
Brazil
Canada
Wyoming.
Canada was my choice. Best move I ever made.
Iten, Kenya
New Mexico
Much safer than the old Mexico
There's two kinds of Finns. On the one hand there's tall, strong and athletic Finns, similar to the Sami with a high percentage of Asiatic traits. And on the other hand there's the round, fat Finns with fat, square faces, who look and act like pink, shit-faced, alcoholic Germans.
Lasse Viren is an example of the tall, strong athletic kind of Finn. Tarja Halonen is a classic plump, square-faced, fat Finn. Tero Pitkamaki is a mix of both types.
Not Ireland.
There's 14% un-employment and things aren't getting better any time soon.
No point going somewhere where you'd struggle to get a job and where you don't have a skillset that is in short supply to justify a visa application for you. Only software developers are emigrating into Ireland these days.
germans are also a potpouuri of ethnic groups from the vast reaches of the world. central asians, semites, africans, east asians, etc.
Singapore. high standard of living, clean, you won't encounter any of the repressive stuff as an expat, and jobs are available. You can teach English there for like 40k a year in addition to subsidized everything. And it's also a great hub so you can easily and often travel throughout Southeast Asia.
I'm not sure I'd want to train as a competitive runner there though.

The people are really friendly, too.
Come on down to Oaxaca. Best food in Mexico, no drug war here, and 5000+ in altitude. Prize money in some local races. About a half dozen Kenyans live and train here -- guys at the 28:00 - 29:00 10K on the roads level. One or two Kenyan women around too.
I've lived here for 5 years and I love it. I'm a middle aged runner past my fastest years, but it's a great place for running. We are within an hour of some 6-7000 ft. runs also.
I lived in Portland before coming down. My wife says we spend about 65% of what we did living in Portland.
Mila Kunis is from Ukraine and I love the sensuous, exotic Eurasian mixes that are in Eastern Europe. Tasty!
I wouldn't leave period. It's my country; my ancestors arrived on these shores in the late 1700s. If anyone goes, it is the other person.

And when they get to Germany, they all turn fat, pink and alcoholic
Mexico is an easy choice. Over 1 million Americans live in that country making it #1 among Americans living abroad. The dollar goes a very long way in Mexico, and job opportunities for people with college degrees are abundant. Places like San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato state, and Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco state seem to be magnets for Americans, specially retirees. Guadalajara is also a commong hub for Amerians, mainly because it is a large prosperous city with everything you would ever need.
man up lance
So those of us worth less than $1 million are scum? Damn it.
I believe I fixed your thread title for you, unless you care to disclose why you HAD to leave the US for good.
